I was so moved by this film that I nearly cried at the end when it was proven that Sully had made the correct decision. I was completely involved and enthralled at this true story. Tom Hanks plays his character perfectly as usual.

Excellent screenplay from a great short story (1 more)
Thomas Jane is amazing
Just a good old fashioned ghost story
I try not to put too much stock in Netflix produced Horror Films. I Am The Pretty Thing... Was not so great, and prior King offering Gerald's Game could've been better.
But they got this one right. It was creepy as shit.
A true slow burn o a movie, it drags a little in the beginning, but the slow spiral downward in to true dread for Jane's character is felt by audience members.
A true story of a man's slow decent into insanity and desperation that makes only the most heartfelt viewer feels for poor ol' Wilf.
All in all, this is a good offering by Netflix. I hope they follow it up with something just as good.
Dread is as good as fear when it comes to the horror genre. And dread is what this makes you feel.

A subpar horror
The story about Chernobyl is a rather terrifying and hauntingly true story, and having been there in person it is definitely a chilling and atmospheric place to visit. Sadly this film completely misses the point and meaning behind the story.
It is just your generic horror film. Terrible acting with a dull plot with pathetic jump scares. Characters making ridiculous nonsensical decisions that only make sense in a crappy horror. Some bad cinematography featuring scenes that are so dark you can’t see what’s going on, and I’m not convinced about how realistic their version of the location is - at one point the characters seem to make it from the Ferris wheel in Pripyat to the power plant (which is around 2 miles away) in no time whatsoever. A completely ridiculous film that squanders such a fascinating and horrifying true story.

Shocking true story
At the end of the second world war Germany was on it's knees. People were looting jut to survive. Willi Herold was one such person. A deserter paratrooper, he was caught and chased by an officer and manages to escape where he finds an abandoned car and in the back a Captains uniform which he dons and takes the identity of. What follows is like an adults Lord of the Flies. This is a dark piece of history and hard to believe it is true. The director chooses ways of showing him surrounded by lunacy as they slip more and more into lunacy and darkness.
Brilliant film of a story I didn't even know about until I saw it.

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated The Monster of Mangatiti (2015) in Movies

This story in Netflix is a true story account of a woman who was duped into going to a man's farm to work as a tutor for his son but was actually kept there as a slave and abused mentally, physically and sexually. The acting in this was pretty good and the film work was decent. The story was not fast paced but told A LOT in a short time. This was one womans account of what happened to her but the man had done it to many others. It was well told and would be of interest to those who like true crime documentary style movies. Nothing too graphic but the content probably isn't for kids. Worth a watch.
